Description Ratul Gupta 2013-11-15 12:58:01 UTC 
Two flaws were fixed in the recently-released MediaWiki 1.21.3, 1.20.8, and 1.19.9 releases:

* Kevin Israel (Wikipedia user PleaseStand) identified and reported two vectors for injecting Javascript in CSS that bypassed MediaWiki's blacklist (CVE-2013-4567, CVE-2013-4568).
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55332

* Internal review while debugging a site issue discovered that MediaWiki and the CentralNotice extension were incorrectly setting cache headers when a user was autocreated, causing the user's session cookies to be cached, and returned to other users (CVE-2013-4572).
